ENS: Presiding Bishop calls listeners to remember the 'mixed reality' of being 'the image of God in earthen vessels'Diocese of Michigan, Province V brief Council on ministriesBy Mary Frances Schjonberg,October 28, 2007[Episcopal News Service] Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori reminded the worshippers at Christ Episcopal Church in Dearborn, Michigan, October 28 that human beings are the image of God in earthen vessels.

"As long as we don't forget that mixed reality, we're doing just fine," she told the congregation which included both Christ Church members and those of the Episcopal Church's Executive Council and Church Center staff who have been meeting in at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Dearborn. "When we assume either that we've got it all right, or if we forget that we are bearers of the divine image, we've missed the point."
